Abstract
We are applying a conserved neurophysiological model to the control of behavior in fieldable underwater robots. The model is based on command neurons, coordinating neurons, central pattern generators and exteroceptive reflexes. We discuss implementations using finite state machines as well as electronic neuronal networks.
